Good Morning and Welcome! This is a stop on the Orange Blog Hop where members of Fiskateers, a community sponsored by Fiskars, is sharing their passion for crafting." I am Fiskateer #6811 and am proud to be a part of this wonderful community.If you have come from Marianne's (6701) blog , then you are in the right spot. If not, and you want to start at the beginning, go to Debby's (2852) blog. and start from there. There will be some awesome projects and some candy along the way, so you will not want to miss a thing. For my project today I made a petal card. I found this at Splitcoasterstampers and they had a great tutorial on how to make it.

I really love how this card turned. I wanted to have something pop out when it opened and I actually made it work.... I LOVE it when that happens LOL!Recipe for card:StoryBook Cricut cartridge- 4- 5in. scallop circles George & Basic Shapes - 2- 4in circles Happy Hauntings - 2 - 2in ghosts, 1.5 in.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you liked my project and have been inspired so far. Now it's time to head on over to the talented Shannon (6394) and see what she has created.

But wait... before you move on we have to have some blog candy, but I have a slight problem. I was going to go pick up some goodies yesterday but a Dr.'s visit in the afternoon ended up being an evening in the ER with my hubby, Kidney stones got the best of him but is doing better So the blog candy will be a surprise, we all like surprises, right??!! Just leave me a comment and a way to get a hold of you , I'll pick a winner on Monday evening.

Fabulous card Mary - love the layers, dimension and cool pop-out "boo"!!! Thank you for sharing the link - I will definitely be trying to make one too :)Sorry to hear about your husband and hope that they don't give him any more trouble.

This is too cute Mary. I don't know what I like more the inside or the outside. Love all the details and the ghost are too cute. I really love the candy holder in the last post and the balloon card in the one before that too.

This is a great card. Now I want to make one it looks like fun. I hope your hubby is feeling better, those stones are no joke. My husband has had them before I have never seen him in so much pain. Sheena iscraplife@gmail.com

LOVE your colors. They remind me of the dress I HAD to have when I was 7 years old. It cost twice as much as my usual Sears dresses, so my mom had to go home and think HARD whether she should buy it or not. SHE DID!!!! I loved it! (She probably had a hard time also because she wasn't fond of the color combo, but I LOVED it!!!) sharon dot gullikson at gmail dot com

Awesome card! Halloween is my favorite, what an excellent use of orange. I also love how it stands, really brings out your pop. Great project, thanks for sharing. Also, thanks for the chance to win. Loved this stop on our hop along.
